AURIGA ACCOUNTING PRIVATE LIMITED GST Amendment Steps to Change or Update Details on the GST Portal

Maintaining accurate information on the GST portal is crucial for businesses to stay compliant and ensure smooth communication with tax authorities. Through the portal, registered taxpayers can update key details—such as mobile number, email address, business address, or even add new business branches. Timely updates help avoid disruptions and adhere to GST regulations. This guide explains who is eligible to amend their GST information, why these updates matter, and how to make specific changes efficiently. For fast, professional assistance, IndiaFilings can handle all GST portal updates on your behalf!

Who Can Update GST Registration Details on the Portal?

The following individuals and entities are eligible to make amendments to GST registration details:

  • Registered taxpayers, including new registrants

  • TDS/TCS deductors, UN bodies, embassies, and other UIN-holders

  • GST practitioners

  • OIDAR service providers (Online Information and Database Access or Retrieval)

  • Non-resident taxable persons.

Core vs. Non-Core Fields in GST Amendment

GST registration details are categorized into Core and Non-Core fields. Understanding the difference helps determine whether approval from a GST officer is required.

Core Fields (require approval):

  • Legal name of the business (PAN must remain unchanged)

  • Principal and additional places of business (excluding changes across states)

  • Addition/removal of stakeholders (e.g., promoters, partners, Karta, managing committee members, CEO)

Non-Core Fields (auto-approved upon submission):

  • Bank account details

  • Business details (excluding core identifiers)

  • Description of goods/services

  • State-specific details (if within the same state)

  • Authorised signatory details

  • Edits to existing stakeholder info

  • Minor edits to address within the same place of business

If a core field amendment request isn’t addressed by the tax officer within the stipulated time, it is auto-approved.
